How to lock editable region in child template?

Hi all,

I have a template , templateParent with 2 editable regions; say region1 and
region2.
I make a nested template, templateChild and I want the pages that will be
made from this template to be able ONLY region1.
How doe I edit region2 in the templateChild and then lock it so the pages
made from it cannot edit region2

(Actualy I will be making several templateChild)

It sounds terribly ssimple, but I cant ffigure it oout. The help files
babble about using @@):@@ but I can get that to work.

Any ideas?

Tnx
Ralph

Making nested templates is usually not something I recommend - your
troubleshooting tasks escalate considerably. Why are you using them?

Oops - sent too soon.

The help files are just wrong in this regard.

In the 2nd generation template, change this -

<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="region2" -->blah blah<!--
TemplateEndEditable -->

to this -

<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="region2" -->@@( )@@blah blah<!--
TemplateEndEditable -->

quite standard practice. in my opinion.

Standard? I don't think so, although your workflow may be different from
mine - I never (well, very rarely) use nested templates. But this way
works.
